SUMMARY

Conducted during the final semester of the Bachelor of Science program in Human Nutrition
and Dietetics, the internship experience centered on delving into disease-related nutritional
issues and patient interaction. The internship took place at Gulab Devi Hospital, a prominent
medical institution in Pakistan known for employing advanced technologies and equipment in
the treatment of various ailments. Notably, the hospital prioritizes both patient well-being and
staff support. This report encompasses a historical overview, nutritional evaluations, case
studies from different hospital wards, and therapeutic approaches involving customized
recipes for diverse medical conditions. Beyond nutritional analysis, the report chronicles
personal internship insights and unveils forthcoming and revised dietary strategies. The
comprehensive medical nutritional therapy offered here incorporates recommendations and
guidance. Throughout the internship, I acquired proficiency in an array of specialties
including reproductive nutrition, oncology nutrition, pulmonology nutrition, medical
nutrition, coronary care nutrition, surgical nutrition, pediatric nutrition, intensive care
nutrition, and outpatient nutrition. A range of diets were practiced during the internship,
encompassing the DASH diet, Diabetic diet, Elemental diet, Elimination diet, Gluten-free
diet, Ketogenic diet, Low-FODMAP diet, Soft diet, Specific carbohydrate diet, clear liquid
diets, full liquid diets, no concentrated sweet diet, diabetic (calorie-controlled) diet, renal diet,
low-fat diet, high-fiber diet, and no added salts diet. Additionally, the internship provided the
opportunity to gain proficiency in anthropometric measurements, encompassing weight,
height, body mass index (BMI), body circumferences (arm, waist, hip, calf), waist-to-hip
ratio (WHR), elbow amplitude, and knee-heel length. To conclude, the internship assumes a
pivotal role in nutritional training, equipping students with hands-on expertise in managing
medical conditions through nutrition-focused care processes and medical nutritional therapy.

prevention and management.

Purpose

The Human Nutrition and Dietetics internship at Gulab Devi Hospital provides aspiring
nutritionists and dietitians with practical exposure to clinical settings, allowing them to apply
their academic knowledge in assessing patients' nutritional needs, designing tailored diet
plans, and collaborating within interdisciplinary healthcare teams. Through this internship,
interns gain invaluable hands-on experience in patient care, develop effective communication
skills, and contribute to the promotion of evidence-based nutritional practices while fostering
personal and professional growth within a diverse medical environment

3.6 COMPETENCIES LEARNED DURING INTERNSHIP


3.6.1 Introduction :
In order to practise dietetics, entry-level practitioners must possess a certain set of
knowledge, talents, skills, and capacities as well as the requisite judgement, attitudes,
and values. Competency statements outline the performance behaviour and attitude of
entry-level practitioners based on the necessary knowledge, aptitude, capability,
skills, judgement, perspectives, and values.

3.6.2 Learned Competencies:


• Acquired the capacity to recognise nutrition-related problems and select the most
appropriate nutrition therapies

11
• Analytical abilities were created for analysing anomalous test results and identifying
the root reasons, such as nutritional deficiencies, medication interactions involving
nutrients, or the outcome of a particular clinical condition.
• In the clinical nutrition setting, I learned how to develop and implement a patient
nutrition care plan that is based on the identification and assessment of a patient's
nutritional needs, as well as other health plans.
• Interpersonal skills (Effective communication, Critical Thinking & Problem
Solving abilities) were established during the internship to provide nutrition guidance
to patients and their families.
• Acquired knowledge of how to gather information from historical records, physical
examinations, and anthropometric calculations, as well as how to evaluate this
information to determine nutritional requirements. The following instruments were
used for anthropometric measurements:

Figure 2.1 : Stadio-meter

Stadio-meter: it is used to measure height.

Figure 2.2: Mid-Upper Arm Circumference Tape

12
Mid-upper arm circumference tape (MUAC tape): it is used to measure the nutritional
status of children from the age of 12 months up to the age of 59 months
.

Weighing Machine

Figure 2.3: Image Courtesy (

Weighing machine: it is used to measure the body weight to check either the patient is
underweight or overweight.

Figure 2.4: Head Circumference Tape

Head circumference Tape: Head circumference is measured because it's an easy way to tell
if there's a potential problem or if something needs to be watched. For example, if the head
grows too fast, it could sign hydrocephalus or water on the brain. If the head grows too
slowly, it could be a sign of microcephaly or a smaller head than normal.

Figure 2.5: Skin Fold Caliper

13
Skinfold caliper: is used to assess the skinfold thickness, so that a prediction of the total
amount of body fat can be made. This method is based on the hypothesis that the body fat is
equally distributed over the body and that the thickness of the skinfold is a measure for
subcutaneous fat.

Figure 2.6: Flexible Segmometer

Flexible Segmometer: it is used to measure knee height when patient is unable to


stand.

Figure 2.7: Measuring tape

Measuring tape: it is used to measure wrist circumference which is used for the
calculation of frame size.

5.1 Conclusion

The Human Nutrition and Dietetics internship at Gulab Devi Hospital has been an enriching
and transformative experience for aspiring nutritionists and dietitians. Through this 3 months
duration internship, I was able to gain knowledge and skills in the following fields: outpatient
nutrition, coronary care nutrition, pediatric nutrition, cancer nutrition, medical nutrition,
pulmonology nutrition, reproductive nutrition, and oncology nutrition. Moreover, the
internship has fostered a deep appreciation for patient-centered care. Interacting with
patients, understanding their unique needs, and tailoring interventions accordingly
underscored the significance of empathy, communication, and cultural sensitivity in
healthcare interactions

5.2 Internship Outcomes


The following are the learning outcomes of internship;
 Practical Skills: Developed hands-on skills in conducting nutritional assessments and
creating personalized diet plans.
 Patient Interaction: Successfully communicated dietary recommendations to patients,
adapting explanations to individual needs.
 Collaboration: Worked effectively within interdisciplinary healthcare teams, contributing to
comprehensive patient care.
 Research Contribution: Contributed to research projects, gaining insights into the research
process and its impact on healthcare.
 Adaptability: Demonstrated adaptability by handling diverse patient cases and adjusting
strategies accordingly.
 Problem Solving: Developed problem-solving skills by addressing unique patient challenges
and dietary needs.
 Confidence: Gained confidence in applying evidence-based practices to design effective
dietary interventions.
 Professional Growth: Achieved personal growth in terms of communication, ethics, and
understanding patient-centered care.

59
 Contribution to Patient Well-being: Played a role in improving patient outcomes by
providing tailored nutrition plans.
 Enhanced Resumé: Strengthened resumé with practical experience and skills crucial for a
career in nutrition and dietetics.

5.3
ssssssssss
Limitations
 Time Constraints: The duration of my internship was relatively short, which
sometimes made it challenging to engage in in-depth projects or witness the long-
term progress of patients I worked with.
 Cultural Diversity: Working with patients from diverse cultural backgrounds was
enriching, but it also presented challenges in terms of effective communication and
understanding cultural nuances related to dietary habits.
 Limited Research Involvement: While I had the chance to engage in research
projects, the limited time and availability sometimes hindered my ability to contribute
as extensively as I had hoped.
